Well I am back... No happy stories yet, but got some funny and maybe even scary stories for you. I am getting the Facebook page up and running too and join in the fun on my other Podcast Lyon's Eye about how to protect you from being scammed. As soon as I get them up and running I will post a link.

Hey there!!! Sorry for the MIA. I was going through a very intense term during school but I am now the proud recipient of an AS in Network Systems Technology. I have missed you all.
